The question of when will this end and the responses seem to be gut reactions to the brutality that was committed in another generation (or two).

However, some of what the insurance companies did was corrupt and immoral; claims to repay damages to stores that were looted and destroyed, not due to war, but because the owner was a Jew, were commonly denied. Again, due to the fact the Government (Nazis) considered a race of people non-citizens and vermin not elligible for the same protection as "pure" peoples. This they backed the insurance carriers into a corner (so to speak) and the claims were denied.

Life insurance poilices that were not paid, for the same reason. The deaths had NOTHING to do with war - it was extermination of the "unwanted."

Let's put it in today's language. It's like looting and destroying stores owned by latinos, imprisoning them, killing them - and then the insurance carriers refusing to pay for the damages and life insurance that may exist.

I'm not talking about the illegal folks; I'm talking about this being done to legal citizens of this country (as the Jews were of Germany).

If this happened, wouldn't we, as a civilized people, expect reparations for these claims - regardless of how long it takes? If not, you've got a mean streak a mile wide.
